The Appeal

A. M. MAYER Who Struck James Whitcomb Riley? With an Account of His Abandonment of the Watermellon "Habit" More or Less Truthfully Told by THE REVEREND EZEKIL LOUDMOUTH VOL.19.NO.52 Who Struck James With an Account of H. Watermellon "Habit" More THE REVEREND E In order that the reader may understand fully the events leading up to the misadventures herein set forth, a brief sketch of the author is necessary. The Reverend Ezekil Loudmouth had been the pastor of a colored church in Indianapolis but owing to his inability to recognize the difference between the debit and credit side of the church's collection accounts was deposed; and drifting to Chicago had so effectually "back-illadded" that the sole remains of his ministerial life appeared in his costume and the unjustious use of large and inappropriate words. His every day dress consisted of the regulation ministerial garb; top hat, frock; or as he termed it "Jim Swigger" coat, black trousers and white choker. The Reverend Ezekiel spent most of his waking hours in the various resorts where the gentlemen of his color most do congregate; taking such gifts as the Fates might send in the way of refreshment, and woulking thanking the cool for the drops and crumbs which fell to his K Naturally the fare in both forms being of an uncertain quality, the times of famine were in an inverse ratio to the times of plenty and in consequence the talk of feasts to come occupied more hours than their consumption. On this particular occasion the conversation had turned on the value of peaches as both a lucious and nutritious diet, whereat the Rev. Ezekiel took the floor. "I don't keer how high a dahkey gits up in de w尔深, ner how much lak white folks he tries to ack, he'll come right back to his natchul 'sef, if you shet 'im up in a room alone wid a watah millun.

Down the Road With Baby Holding on by His Ears." "Dood-by, Grampa," said Baby. It was the night before New Year's. The air was clear and frosty, and the moon and stars were shining down on the sparkling snow that covered the prairie, like the cloth on a round dining table. Toward midnight, if you had peeped from one of the windows or Mr. Blain's farm house, you would have seen what would have appeared to have been a shadow, coming up the road toward the house. As it came nearer you would have seen that it was a little animal about the size of a lamb, with great long ears and a bobtail, and so white that at a little distance you could not tell it from the snow. But nobody saw the shadow, for everyone in the house was asleep, ex- "Away He Scampered, Down the Road" cept the baby, who was lying wide awake in her little cot at the foot of mother's bed. Just as the clock was striking midnight, there came a gentle tap at the door. Baby heard it, but no one else did, and she climbed out of her cot and ran to the door. "I cogmin' Bannie," she called out as she reached up to the handle and let the little animal in. "Now oo wait a minit till baby dets on her toat, Mr. Jack Rabbit." Then she ran to the drawer and pulled out her little coat and bonnet and mitts and her little foot muffs. Baby had never dressed herself before but at midnight, between the old and the new year, babies can do many wonderful things which they cannot do at any other time, but you never see them doing these things, as they will not do them while anybody in the house is awake. It only took baby a few minutes to get on all her clothes. Then she opened the door and she and the jackrabbit went out into the moonlight night. As soon as they were outside the rabbit got down on his knees, and baby climbed on his back and away he scampered, down the road, with baby holding on by his ears. Soon they were far away from baby's home, so far that they could only see the chimney. At last they came to a hole leading down under the ground. Down this the jackrabbit popped, and stopped up before a little round door. He tapped at the door and waited until it was opened by a fat little woman in a big white apron and a white dusting cap. "Ha, ha!" laughed the little woman as she took the baby off the jackrabbit's back, and nearly smothered her with kisses. "Here is another little guest at Grandma Jack Rabbit's New Year's party. Now Jack, shut the door or you will freeze the little cows. Now baby let me take off your coat and bonnet, so that you can play with the other children." Baby's eyes opened wide with wonder, for there were over a dozen other little babies in the room, which was a great large one. "Now Jack," said Grandma Jack "Dood-by, Gra Rabbit, whose face was wrinkled up with laughing, all the time, "you play with the children, while I get the supper." Baby turned to see the rabbit, but he was gone, and in his place stood a little fat man, with a jolly laughing red face and a snow white beard. Baby Gathered Up Hcr Little Skirts and Went Spinning Around. "What is ne jackrabbit dat bot me here?" asked the baby. "I am he," answered the little man. "We Jack Rabbits just turn ourselves into little animals like rabbits when we go out, but when we are at home, we are little men and women." "O Grandpa, please come and play with us," cried the other children, who had all been there the year before and they knew these little people, while this was the first time our little baby had ever been to see the Jack Rabbits, for she was only a tiny little infant the year before. Grandma Jack Rabbit went over to the stove at the other end of the kitchen, where she had a big pot of taffy boiling, some corn popping, a With Baby Holding on by His Ears." big pan of chestnuts roasting in the oven, and some other things cooking for the children's supper, and Grandpa began to play with the children. Oh! What fun they had! They played "Drop the Handturchief," "Nuts in May," "Here Comes a King Arriving," "Green Gravel," "Blind Man's Bur," and every game they knew. Then Grandpa got down on his hands and knees and took them for a ride on his back all around the room and over to where Grandma was pulling the golden taffy that had been boiling on the stove. "Here's a piece of taffy for each one of my babies," laughed Grandma. Now gallop away Grandpa, like the old black ram that went to London Baby Gathered Up Hcr Little S Town, but don't let the little dears fall off like papa and mamma did, while I set the table." Grandpa seuttled off, as fast as he could go on his hands and knees, to the other end of the room, singing: "Papa, mamma and Uncle John went to Papa fell off, O dear! O dear! "Papa fell off, O dear! O dear! "Mamma fell off, O dear! O dear! And I and you fell off, O dear! O dear! on, allowing on to London Town." Then the child ren all scrambled off Mr. Jack Rabbitt's back and cried: "Now Grandpa, you play us some music and we'll dance till Grandma gets supper ready." So Grandpa took the funniest looking black stick out of his pocket, and put it up to his mouth, but you ought to have heard the beautiful music npa," said Baby. that came out of that stick. It was magic and any one could dance to it even if they had never danced before, nor even seen any one dancing. Suddenly the music stopped and Grandpa said: "Come now children and have some supper, Grandma's waiting for us." $2.40 PER YEAR. Then Mr. and Mrs. Jackrabbit lifted each one of them into a high chair and tied a big bib around his or her neck, so that the children would not spill anything on their clothes. And what a feast they had! There were baked apples,inger bread,doughnuts, cookies, and jam, and afterwards they had nuts, raisins, taffy and popcorn. "Now Grandpa," said one of the children, with a big piece of taffy in his mouth, "Please tell us where you got this new baby to-night." "Well," said Grandpa, "last week I was passing Mr. Blain's house and the baby was out playing in the garden. I hid behind the snow man she was building, so that nobody but she could see me, while I told her about the party which we have here every New Year's Eve, and I asked her if she would like to come. When she said she would, I told her not to tell any one, but to be awake at midnight on New Year's night and I would come for her then." "Es," said Baby Blain, "it was a drefful long time till New Year's too. I fot it ud never tum, but it did tum and I'm having a gate time. Tan I tome here again?" "O yes!" said Grandma. "We will have another party next year and I hope you will all be here." "Yes!" cried all the children at once, "we'll all come if we can." "Well now," said Mrs. Jackrabbit, "come and have a game with Grandma, and then it will be time to go home." "Let's play tag and we'll all try to catch Grandma," said one of the children, and they all rushed toward her, but Grandma was too quick for them and had darted across the room before any one could catch her. Off they ran after her, Grandpa and all, but Grandma bobbed around like a cork in a pail of water, till she was all out of breath, and then Baby Blain, the littest one of all, was able to catch her. "He! Ho! Ho! You're caught at last," hughed Mr. Jackrabbit. "Well its time that our little ones were going home for it will soon be daylight." The children were all sorry that the party was over, but Grandma and Grandpa put on their coats and hoods kiirts and Went Spinning Around. and muffled them up warm. Then Mrs Jackrabbit kissed them and wished them all a happy New Year, and told them to be sure to come again the next New Year's Eve, when Grandpa Jackrabbit called for them. But where was Grandpa? He had disappeared while his wife was kissing the children, and in his place stood the funny little animal with the long ears, which had brought the children there, and which is called a jackrabbit. Grandma lifted the children on his back, all together, and opened the door, and away the rabbit scampered, up the hole and over the snow. When he came to the nearest house, he let one of the children off and then turned down the road, letting a child off at nearly every house he was to. Baby Blain's house was the farthest off of all, and before they reached it, Baby could see that it was beginning to get light away in the East, where the sun rises. The Jackrabbit saw the light too, and flew along, faster than ever, till the wind whistled past Baby's ears, for if he did not get home before daylight, some one might see Jackrabbit and shoot him for their dinner. But it was not long before they came to the Blain house. "Dood-by, Grandpa," said Baby, as she slid down off the Rabbit's back, "and sank so vey much," and the rabbit was of like a shot. Baby opened the door and then shut and locked it after her, and she was all unladdressed and in her little bed. When father and mother got up, there was the baby, fast asleep, just as she was when they went to bed the night before, and they wondered what made her sleep so late for she was always first awake in the morning. They never found out, however about the Jackrabbit's party, for Baby had promised not to tell. Baby went again next year, and every year until she was five years old, but after that she could not go any more for the Jackrabbits never had any children over five years old at their parties. She is a big girl now, and her father and mother don't call her Baby any more, but Marguerite, but she will always remember the fun she had at the Jackrabbit's party.
